C123 Mercedes-Benz 230 CE coupe 123 series, 1980

In March 1977 a coupé variant of series 123 was presented at the Geneva Motor Show. Types 230 C, 280 C and 280 CE succeeded the 114 series "Stroke Eight" coupés. Their production had run out between June and August of the previous year. About two years later, in June 1980, the 2.3-liter 4-cylinder carburettor engine was replaced by a totally redeveloped aggregate equal in cubic capacity. It was equipped with a mechanically controlled petrol injection and mobilised 136 hp. Thus Type 230 C was replaced in favour of 230 CE which consumed less fuel in spite of a higher performance of 25 %. At the same time Type 280 C with the carburettor engine was taken out of the program.
